Over the years of researching Johann Bessler I have often woken in the night, usually around for four o'clock in the morning and lain there thinking about how to build a working version of his machine. Often the solution to an apparently insoluble problem appears to me in clear detail. Obviously these 'revelations' don't bear fruit otherwise I would be sitting on a tidy fortune by now - but they are always new, unique and unobtainable by normal means in the daylight hours.
I think that the unconscious continues to worry at the problem and it only surfaces in the small hours. Last night I had another revelation and I am sure that I have everything I need to build the wheel.
About a month ago I had another one which resolved the problem of gravity being a conservative force. The answer was so clear and so obvious and so simple I cannot understand why I didn't think of it before. It was then that I decided to write a thesis, if I can call it that, and present it to a contact in the USA who has given me so much encouragement over the last twelve years.
So I must finish the video, the thesis and build the wheel. The book will have to wait just a little longer, but it is already about five years late!

The 300th anniversary of Bessler's wheel.
On the 12th June 2012 it will be exactly 300 years since Johann Bessler first exhibited his wheel. In some ways it feels as if events are conspiring to create the perfect moment for the re-emergence of Bessler's wheel.
First we became aware that we could no longer rely on unlimited supplies of oil and then that there is no realistic universal alternative energy solution in view. Next we were warned that the enormous amounts of pollution we are creating are apparently leading to global warming. Now we have the global recession. Companies going bankrupt, jobs disappearing at an ever increasing rate.
What single simple solution would go a long way towards resolving all three crises? You know the answer - Bessler's wheel!
Firstly it would help massively to supply electricity for domestic use at least, replacing in some measure the fossil-fuel-burning electricity generators we currently use. It would largely remove the necessity for banks of windmills and nuclear power generated electricity.
Secondly, as a non-polluting solution it would also help in reducing pollution and eventually, maybe, correct global warming in time.
Lastly, it would generate millions and millions of jobs in a useful contribution to the stabilising of the global credit meltdown.
Bessler was born before his time, arriving as he did at the start of the steam age, but perhaps we had to go through the steam age and the fossil-burning age before we could return to a cleaner, less demanding source of energy. Who knows, perhaps we wouldn't have had gas-driven autos, jet aircraft and space shuttles if his technology had prevailed?
Then again what other developments have we missed because of his reluctance to share his secret while he was still alive?
I hope that the world will be celebrating his life by 2012 because someone has suceeded in duplicating his wheel.

A scientific paper (amateur) and the Video
I'm in a quandery. I am completing the video about Bessler and I'm completing the paper which contains everything relevant to building Bessler's wheel, which I have discovered over a number of years. Do I continue with the paper and await the review by a certain learned gentleman, or do I hold on to it and wait until I have tried to build the last prototype? Do I add anything to the video which is also in the paper, thus giving away much of my own work? If I give it away and someone else builds a sucessful model, using the information I have given, will I get any recognition?
Reading this back it sounds selfish and I do want to share the information, but at the same time I'd like to achieve some kind of reward if only so that my family and I can benefit. Time is short, I know, and a new energy source needs to be found. Bessler's wheel could be that source, I certainly believe so.
I shall probably end up sending the paper because the wheel is too difficult for me to build with my limited resources, so that could help me make the decision. As for the video, I can leave some stuff out because if the paper is accepted then the video doesn't matter so much.
The video began as a favour to a friend but now looks more useful for me in letting the world know about Johann Bessler. We shall see.

ET IN ARCADIA EGO
I have several web sites devoted to Johann Bessler but I have one which is for quirky information I might wish to publish from time to time. It does not have to be connected with Johann Bessler but it might be sometimes.
About a couple of months ago I decided to place some odd-ball information about the phrase 'Et In Arcadia Ego' on line. As usual I haven't advertised the fact that it's there and I don't think anyone has found it yet, but it will be fun to see what happens when it is found. In my opinion it is the most likely explanation for the phrase and has ramifications for an area not that far from Rennes-le-Château in south-west France.
The website in question, http://www.247website.co.uk/ .
I look forward to seeing the reaction to my discovery.
